What is the 1 thing you would do on a Disney Cruise this minute?

[Cruising Engineer]

On the verandah with a bottle of champagne and an All Hands on Deck platter, just breathing in all that salty air.

 

[KashasMom]

Have a Mickey Bar for dessert in Animator's Palate.

Walk deck 4 watching the flying fish (or any other wildlife) and gazing out.... I miss being on the ocean so much.

 

[TikiThunderPirates]

Sit on one of the chairs outside Cove Cafe with my feet up reading a book and listening to the ocean.

That sounds nice right about now. Even if it was raining, it's covered so I'm game.

3:50 pm, I would probably have had enough sun for the afternoon so I would be sitting at the Cove Bar sipping a Tropical Depression and munching on BBQ chips (I always grab some from around the corner ) .

Instead I'm watching snow come down outside my window.

Wait where are there BBQ chips? Or any chips? Or are we talking the British chips ( American french fries?) because chips (or crips) are one of the things I always miss while cruising. I've been known to stash a bag or two in my luggage on longer cruises. Sometimes you just want a salty crunchy snack!

I would relax on the bed with a good book and Disney on demand in the background, plus a gentle ocean view out of the verandah or oceanview window, while snacking on chicken strips brought by room service.

Your plan sounds great. Sign me up.
I was surprised to find out how awesome an afternoon (or two in my case) just holed up in the cabin watching tv and doing nothing can be. I normally am on the go and use the cabin for sleeping, but during a hurricane cruise, I ended up sea sick - a first for me- and spent 2 days in the cabin. I would have thought I'd look back on the memory with disappointment, but I am surprised I don't think of the seasick days as "ruined" vacation days. I have pretty fond memories of just lazing about. The other side effects of seasickness I could have done without........

The sea air and relaxing seems to be something a lot of people miss. I hope after reading all these things, I'll remember to take a few minutes to applicate the small things on my next cruise. Whenever that may be.

That reminds me how much I miss seeing the crew march around at the end of the dinner show in Animators.

I feel like I almost never see wildlife. I was pretty excited when I finally saw dolphins from the ship! I did see more in Alaska, but I always figured that was because we were so close to land. In the open ocean all I see is the crashing waves.

There are different types of what y'all call crisps across the pond at one of the pool deck food places. I don't know if there is any guarantee of any specific flavor but I remember getting crisps at the hot dog/burger place (if I recall correctly, might have been the sandwich place)

What this a classic ship or a dream class ship?

On the Dream and Fantasy you can get the chips at Flo’s, right around the corner from the Cove Bar/Cafe area. I’ve also seen them at Currents Bar.

Both if memory serves right.

Both if memory serves right.

How I have missed these is beyond me?! Especially when we were looking for them.

I think you answered your own question . . "take a few minutes to applicate the small things".

Lounging in the sun by the goofy pool

I was just sitting here thinking "What I would do to be able to go sit in the Rainforest room right now", (it was this or stand with my mouth wide open under the soft serve machine!) and it made me wonder what other people would choose if they could do just one thing on a cruise right now?

Rules are simple.

Pick 1 thing. - Cruising for a week can't be the "1 thing"!!

It has to be specific. - Eat lunch at Cabana's vs. Eat at all the restaurants.

You have to want to do it in this exact moment. - It doesn't have to be your favorite thing, or the thing you miss the most. Just the 1 thing you would do on a cruise, if you could, right now, today, this second.

This is just for fun.

Shuffle Board? jk

Morning coffee (caramel latte) from cove cafe and some pastries (chocolate pillow, cinnamon scroll and a muffin)

 

[Spiffy MacSpiff]

Me Time with coffee and an almond croissant (or two) on my balcony, either reading or watching the ocean, while the rest of the family is still drooling into their pillows.

 

[ChrisnKim913]

Grab a Margarita from the Bon Voyage Bar. Nothing better than getting a drink at Bon Voyage before dinner with the atrium buzzing and live music playing.

 

[DIS_MIKE]

Do you have an ice cream maker? We've used a powder mix, and tweaked the recipe a lot, and have gotten it pretty close to DCL soft serve vanilla. But you have to have an ice cream maker, because I agree, no store bought comes close.

I do not, but it sounds like something I should've added to my kitchen a long time ago! Do you have any maker suggestions?

 

[DCLCrazy64622]

Sitting outside of the Cove Cafe with a Toberlone Martini staring at the ocean.

Hey you stole mine right down to the very same drink. Those things are amazing!!

 

[ruadisneyfan2]

Relax in a lounge chair on deck 4 and watch the ocean go by.

We love doing this. After dinner we walk around deck 4 a few times before going to the show, then come back and relax in the chairs for a while. Last time we clapped and cheered on the joggers. At first they gave us dirty looks but after a few times they realized we were genuinely cheering for them.
Except sometimes we cheer while eating ice cream.

 

[DisLiss]

The minute I read your subject title I thought "Go to the Rainforest Room!" and then I chuckled when I saw your first post said the same thing.

Cuisinart ICE-30 2QT. I use a similar but older model. Had it for years, total champ. There are some "tricks of the trade" to get the best product. So if you do invest in one, let me know. I'd be happy to pass on anything I've learned over dozens and dozens of batches of soft serve/sorbet. I don't recommend the Cuisinart Soft Serve maker. Similar freezing capabilities, much messier to use. If you want the soft serve "swirl" a piping bag works just as well and WAY easier to deal with. Mostly I just plop the soft serve in a bowl and go.
